Each of these servers served as vectors for the last spam attack. In every case, they have ignored my spam reports that I sent to their admins, and I’ve given them ample time to respond. Spam still exists on their servers, and no action has been taken whatsoever.
As well, I have investigated each of these servers individually, and have determined that they are still vulnerable to spam attacks. Likely, they will be used for spam again in the future.
In most (perhaps all) cases, these are abandoned servers with open registrations, and an admin who has done little or nothing to moderate new users.
@cliffwade I made hundreds of spam reports. Most servers responded by removing spam or making changes to their registrations. However, these five servers literally did nothing, and will likely never do anything.
@atomicpoet Makes sense. So my question is, just to make sure I understand correctly, are these the ONLY five servers that didn't respond to your reports?
I reported hundreds as well, and I only know of a handful that made a public post about fixing it on their end. I'd say 85% never replied or made a post about anything, which is why I'm asking these questions to you.
@cliffwade There will likely be more that I add to Fediblock. However, I’m still waiting for further action. Once I feel certain that no action will be taken, then I will make more recommendations.
Believe me, I’m being incredibly patient – perhaps more so than I really should. Nevertheless, I can say with certainty that these five servers deserve their Fediblock.
@atomicpoet Got it. And thank you for responding and sharing your thoughts, insights and recommendations. It's greatly appreciated and I will speak to @beardedtechguy who is my co-admin about us possibly adding these to our Fediblock list.
